THE GREAT WALL.
Something About ChIna's Most Marvelou
0LIecI of IIlsinrlc Infercst


Something About China's Most Marvellous
Object of Historic Interest.
OF course we had to go to the great
wall of China. This country abounds
in great walls. Her mural dcfenses
were most extensive walled country,
walled cities, walled villages, walled
palaces and temples-wall after wall
and wall within wall. But the great
est of all is the great wall of China,
which crests the mountain range and
crosses the gorge from here some forty
miles away. Squeezing through the
last deep gorge and n deep rift in tho
solid rock cut out by ages OF rolling
wheels and tramping feet, we reach
the great, frowning, double bastioncd
gate of stone and hard-burned brick
one archway tumbled in. This was
the object of our mission, the great
wall of China, built two hundred and
thirteen years before our era; built of
great slabs of well-hewn stone, laid in
regular courses some twenty feet high
and then topped out with large, hard
burned bricks, filled in with earth and
closely paved on the top with more
dark tawny brick--the ramparts high
and thick and castellated for the use of
arms.H Right and left the great wall
isprang far up the mountain side--now
straight, now curved, to meet the
mountain ridge, turreted each three
hundred feet--a frowning mass Of ma
songy. No need to tell you of this

she had disappeared in the dark

they met BIZ Jones and his brutal
hired man hunting for the escaped lu-

and then drove home. He was not on
good terms with the keeper of the pjnr-
house, so exchanged as few words as
possible.
When they reached home Rose
found her mother anxiously awaiting
their return. She judged from the
look of anxiety upon her mothers
face that there had been a stormy
afternoon at home. The father was
not to be seen. and she thought best to
ask nothing about him at present

CONGRESSMAN 1rBBEy TALKS,
He Thinks Virginia win Send Gen.
Malone Back TO the senate.


Congressman Harry Libbey, Of the Nor
folk district, than whom there is not in
Virginia man better posted on politics,
reviewed the conditions Of matters political
In bis state yesterday for the benefit Of
NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, reporter.
"Virginia," said he, "has taken the per-
manent lead In breaking tho solid south.
OuriRepublican victory last fall was not the
product OF ephemeral causes, although
Democratic apathy and dissatisfaction with
the administration were accidents which in
creased our majority. l have made study
OF the subject and / can say that the con-
trolling issue.-the issue on which we made
our greatest gains last fall-was the tariff.
III you look over the election tables you will
find that most Of the new counties we car
ried were In sections where industries are
developing and where the people have
awakened to the necessity Of protective
tarif. These were white countles--coun-
ties which had nearly always gone Demo-
cratic. The action Of the Democratic rep
reeentatives from these sections in voting
for consideration Of the Morrison bill last
session indicated clearly that they could not
be relied upon to advocate the protection OF
our infant manufactures, so the people cast
their votes for Republicans and protection
ist independents.
"The Democrats have experienced no
change Of heart since November, and are
not likely to change by the time the next
legislative elections come on; hence there
Is no reason to suppose that the men who
voted for us few months ago will desert
us In the next elections. II we carry the
counties that went with us in November, we
will have good majority of the next legis-
lature. In my district the Republicans
carried every legislative district, and will
do again. A close organization of our
forces is being made throughout the state,
and from all hear, Judge that we are In
better order than We have been for many
years. l look upon the election Of a Re-
publican to succeed Mr.. Riddlebergsr as
assured.n
"Who, do you think, will be the next
senator from Virginia." the reporter asked.
"Well," said Mr.. Libbey, "T haven't made
any calculations on which to base o reply
to that question, but to me it seems that
Gen. Malone would have little trouble In
returning to the Senate II he desires to do
co.. All the talk about his being 'downed'
and crushed is so much rubbish. He is
very strong with his party, and knows how
to maintain his strength through all changes
In political conditions. l have not heard
him say that he will be candidate, but his
friends assert that he will enter the field -
"How about Senator Rlddleberger ?" was
asked.
~ have not heard him express any views
about the senatorship; still, fancy he
would not be averse to returning TO the
Senate. There are other candidate, too, but
Gen. Malone is away ahead just now Of
anybody"
"Might you not enter-," the reporter
began, but Mr.. Libbey interrupted with
"Therc draw the line," and made his es-
cape.
